Fire crews said that multiple vehicles were involved in a crash near mile marker 64 on I-95 South. The multi-vehicle crash that left six people critically injured involved three vehicles. The driver of a taxi and a female passenger are in a coma.

Describing the crash, a witness said, ‘I heard two loud bangs when the crash happened. Four men in a car were all thrown from their vehicle. The scene was very upsetting. Everyone abandoned their cars and people flocked from everywhere to see what happened.’

Emergency services arrived minutes after. Palm Beach County firefighters also responded to the crash. All first responders at the scene are doing their best to help the victims.
